tendent, explained the duties of citizens towards improving local school conditions, and how school authorities can do nothing without the understanding, initiative, and expressed 1 intelligent opinions of the school patrons. Dick Heller, Jr,, of-the Decatur Daily Democrat, then explained that the person who did not use the rights of understanding and voting on issues and candidates in an election was “burying the talent which God had given him to use.” Sgt. William Hunter, of the Baer Field state police post, mentioned that - there are many duties, other than voting—such as learning all about each issue, and reading thoroughly to understnd civic problems. Following the program, questions were answered by members of the panel on the general question of good citizenship.

New Decisions 1 On Citizenship 1 By High Court Highlight 'Liberal, Conservative Lineup , Os Supreme Court WASHINGTON <UP> — New ; decisions on citizenship and con- > tempt of court highlighted today the Supreme Court’s liberal-con- t servative split over individual liberties. The court decided five cases Monday, mostly by 5-4 votes. But ’ 20 opinions were required to encompass views the justices wanted to .get on the record in each case. : The decisions demonstrated that Chief Justice Earl Warren continues |o lead a liberal groftp including justices William O. Douglas, Hugo L. Black and usually William J. Brennarf Jr Os the four most important rulings, this bloc carried only one. It struck down as unconstitutional an act of Congress revoking the U.S. citizenship of American servicemen convicted of desertion in wartime. Here Justice Charles E. Whittaker joined the majority of five. The Desertion Case The more conservative members of the court prevailed in a , second citizenship case and two ] contempt cases. This group includes Justices Felix Frankfurter, ] Harold H. Burton, Tom C. Clark i and John M Harlan. Albert L Trop. 33. filed the appeal in the desertion case, challenging a provision of the Nationality Act of 1940. Trop was convicted of desertion by an Army court-martial in Casablanca in 1944. When he sought a passport ,j in 1952. he was informed that his ,! conviction stripped him of his citizenship. He sued to get it back. The decision, written by Warren, said the law taking away Trop’s citizenship constituted j "cruel and unusual punishment,” which is barred by the Bth Amendment to the Constitution. It was estimated the ruling would restore the citizenship of at leas. 7,000 soldiers and airmen i convicted of desertion by courts ) martial in World War II and, given dishono rab 1 e discharges. | The decision would also apply to ; I Navy and Marine Corps desertion cases and to World War I servicemen convicted of desertion. However, the court upheld 5-4 i the ?<alidity of another section of | the 1940 Nationality Act requiring ; denationalization of a U.S. citizen j who votes in a foreign election. In that case, Frankfurter. Clark, i Harlan and Burton had Brennan on their side. Whittaker joined the dissentersThe Contempt Case Speaking for the majority, Frankfurter said Congress properi ly passed the law under its power to regulate foreign affairs . I The appeal came from Clemente i ; Martinez Perez, 48. of El Paso,. Tex., who voted in Mexico and i remained there to avoid military I service- in World War 11. After j the war he sought to reenter this country. In vigorous dissents the liberal wing maintained that the government has no power to take away the citizenship of a person born in the United States. Harlan spoke for the majority in the principal contempt ruling. It upheld, again 5-4, tl\e convictions of Gilbert Green and Henry Winston, two top Communists who jumped bail in 1951 when called to start serving their five-year! conspiracy sentences. They will: now have to serve three more, years for contempt. Harlan said previous decisions established "beyond peradventure that criminal contempts are not subject to jury trial as a matter of constitutional right-’’ But Warren, Black. Douglas and Warren dissented. Black said "the time has come for a fundamental and searching reconsideration of the validity of this power.'* The court also ruled 5-4 that Stefana Brown t Detroit, waived her fight to invoke the sth Amendment on, cross-examination when she took the witness stand in her own behalf and testified on direct examination. Mrs. Brown was found in cotempt for refusing to answer questions about Communist affiliations in denaturalization proceedings. Again Warren, Black, Douglas and Brennan dissented.

When the attendant checked the dipstick, he found she had only about a quart of oil left in her car. When he pointed this out, she replied: “Fine... as soon as I use that up, I’ll put in some more!” I ■ 2 Os course the Phillips Dealer explained that she needed five quarts of oil for adequate lubrication! Now that spring is here, it’s time to think about the B oil in your crankcase. If you are still using “winter grade” oil, it s time to change it. But why use two, B when one will do? Better switch to Phillips 66 TropArtic* which gives you the effects of lOw, 20 and 30 grade oils. Compared to old-fashioned oils Trop- Artic Motor Oil can actually double engine life.
